After Sakura entered Ren's apartment, she patted Pochita's head as usual.
"Woof woof woof~!"
Pochita rubbed her head against Sakura's palm very enthusiastically.
Sakura immediately pursed her lips and then pretended to be indifferent and said: "Ren drew you, Pochita, in the manga..."
Ren scratched his head, wondering whether he should say it or not. 'It should be that the manga "Chainsaw Man" came first, and then he gave Pochita this name.'
But he didn't say it after all, so he let Sakura misunderstand...
"Ren, are you still drawing?"
Sakura said with a smile, "Fire Punch or Chainsaw Man?"
"No..."
Ren returned to the center of the living room, picked up a game controller, and waved it at Sakura, "I'm playing games."
He recently bought a console, and this duplex apartment turned out to be quite large.
But, of course, it was an excuse; right now he was Browse the System.
"By the way, Sakura, you said you wanted to eat, right?" Ren asked with a smile: "Fried fish with essence? Fragrant wing rice? Or fried pancakes?"
"What...", Sakura asked, blinking. "Why are the names of your dishes so strange?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered an old friend."
Ren said: "Alright, get serious, let's have a homemade barbecue!"
"Ah, this...", Sakura asked, a little embarrassed, but continued with a smile: "By the way, Ren, you drew Pochita in "Chainsaw Man", and then you drew other characters?"
Ren blinked: "No, don't overthink it, Pochita is just an exception, and the other characters in "Chainsaw Man" are also pure fiction!"
"Really...?"
Sakura again lifted her long hair to her ears and slowly approached Ren.
Ren looked at the university student who was close by and, unconsciously, took a step back.
"Sakura... you are..."
He was a little lost.
Sakura bit her lip, feigning calm, and said with a soft smile: "Ren, look closely at my palm...".
She grabbed Ren's palm and said softly and seductively, like Makima in the manga: "The length of my fingers...".
"And the temperature of my palm, is it cold or warm?"
Ren felt Sakura's hand, which was too small compared to his own.
He was a little lost.
The palm had a thin and soft outline, and the skin on Sakura's fingers was thin and translucent, yet soft and elastic.
It was truly... a palm full of feminine breath.
At the same time, Ren felt for the first time the warmth and coolness of the girl's palm.
It was like a small piece of warm jade, with a slight coolness.
Sakura suddenly felt an indescribable anger in her heart, she smiled at Ren and said: "Ren, have you been bitten on the fingers?"
She felt as if she had really become Makima, and was about to grab Ren's index finger and bring it to her mouth...
But at that moment...
"If the voice can't remember..."
It was...
Sakura's cell phone ringtone.
This sudden ringtone interrupted Sakura's mysterious and strange state. She looked at Ren's finger near her mouth, and her beautiful face instantly flushed. 'What had happened to her, she, she, she, just now? Why did she suddenly want to do something like that?'
'Or did she take the initiative... This, this...'
But luckily... the call came in time, and she didn't bite Ren's finger.
That way... it would be very embarrassing later.
However, after answering the phone, Sakura frowned: "Okay... I know, is the situation serious? Can the data be saved?"
"Okay... I know."
She sighed and hung up.
Ren looked at Sakura at that moment, as if something very troublesome had happened.
He immediately asked: "Sakura... did something happen?"
Sakura looked at Ren, and her pretty face still reflected some embarrassment recalling what had happened.
But even so, she said: "Yes... something happened within our startup website team. Mio accidentally cut off the power to our temporary server, and then the data... might be lost."
"This means that the data will have to be rewritten then."
Sakura was also a little angry. In fact, Mio joined the team because she was also her university roommate.
But after Mio joined the team, she did not complete the framework and code part she was supposed to be responsible for.
This had already caused great dissatisfaction among the other team members. In the end, the framework and code that Sakura was responsible for were completed, so she thought that, since they were roommates, she would help Mio take care of that part of the work.
However, Ren saw Sakura rush to write the code later, and he also helped her.
Thus, the part of the code that Mio was responsible for was completed by him and Sakura together.
"Everyone is a little dissatisfied with Mio."
Sakura took a deep breath and said: "Unfortunately, indeed, she doesn't need to do anything. If she had attended classes more seriously, she wouldn't be like this now...".
"Goodness cannot command an army, and righteousness cannot command wealth."
At that moment, Ren shook his head and said: "Sakura, if you really want your team to continue, you cannot be too sentimental."
"Mio can be a friend, but she is not suitable to be a teammate. If this continues, the entire team will betray each other."
Sakura listened to Ren's words, gritted her teeth, and finally made up her mind.
"Alright, I'll talk to Mio and ask her to leave the team."
After saying this, they tacitly agreed not to talk about what had happened and continued to get along as before.
